Now Intelligent™ cushioning is more brilliant than ever. This deluxe runner does more calculations per second and adapts even faster than the original. It continually adapts to give you your perfect level of comfort and performance.

Product Description

The adidas 1.1 Intelligence women's running shoes are unquestionably the smartest shoes ever constructed, but don't let that give your other footwear a complex. The adidas 1.1 Intelligence has been upgraded from the Intelligence 1 with technology that finds the right cushioning level for every surface, every weight, every running style, even quicker and better than before. Extensive research has made the shoe capable of faster adjustment over a greater cushioning range, meaning the adidas 1.1 Intelligence can adapt to be even firmer or softer than its predecessor and do it more quickly.It even has brawn to go with those brains -- the 1.1 features a souped-up motor with 153% more torque than the adidas Intelligence 1. Surely your other shoes have good qualities, too (especially if you bought them here), but let these be your flagship. Just don't let the adidas 1.1 Intelligence give you a complex. The 1.1 will make you feel great if you take it running of course, but you might feel bad if you try to play it in chess.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice Shoes/Gadget, November 6, 2006

I like my shoes and think they are very comfortable. However, I cannot tell if the shoe is actually "intelligent" and adjusts as I run. They are probably not worth the price unless you enjoy them as shoes and as a gadget.

1.0 out of 5 stars More of a Gimmick..., January 12, 2008

This review is from: adidas Women's 1.1 Running Shoe (Apparel)

I am a runner and purchased these in hopes that they would provide great arch support, nice cushioning, good stability, and ease for the knees -- not too much to ask in a good running shoe, especially at this price.

My review:

(1) The arch support feels decent but the shoe is wider than normal which is not very suitable for a runner.

(2) The shoe is, at the very least, a half size larger than normal. I believe it was a full size too large. I typically wear an 8.5 running shoe and probably needed a 7.5 in this shoe.

(3) The tongue on the shoe is entirely too large. If you wear ankle socks to run, the tongue on this shoe will rub your foreleg to pieces. The rise on the tongue is too tall which makes it rather annoying to those of us who run in low socks. It may seem to be a petty complaint, but for a shoe at this price, this issue is worth mentioning.

(4) The adjustable cushioning (i.e., what makes this shoe "intelligent"), is pretty much a gimmick. I do not notice any difference when adjusting the cushioning of this shoe. The idea is appealing but when put in action, this feature is simply a joke. You are better to shop around for the running shoe that meets your cushioning needs. Do not expect this shoe to suit the runner who likes a lot of cushioning as well as the one who likes moderate cushioning; it will not happen.

Overall, this shoe might be a decent fit for someone looking for good arch support but I would advise you buy in a smaller size (and maybe width, as well). Even so, I would contend there are other, less-expensive shoes out there with good arch support so buying strictly for that feature is not very cost-effective.

For someone looking for a good running shoe, I would argue this shoe is purely a gimmick. The adjustable cushioning is worthless; The fit is less-than-desireable; and the super-sized tongue is nothing but annoying. For the purpose for which I purchased these shoes, I was very disappointed.
